they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

I have always said it, I will continue to say it, we are limiting the productive potential of millions of freaks by demanding they earn a wage to survive instead of enabling them to do whatever thing their brain is broken for

Shoutout to commission clients who send crude mockups and stick figure drawings to get across the idea of what they want for their comm. You don't need advanced art skills to communicate concepts.

It's so fucking hard when the people you normally go to for comfort are the reason you need comfort. ;~;

PSA: If a cat brings you kittens, they are not "showing" you the kittens. They are asking you to babysit for a while so they can take care of their own needs without worrying about the babies getting into trouble.

Apropos to a post I'm not going to quote: no, you are not fucking obliged to battle the fucking right on fucking social media, or go to where they are. Why make yourself miserable shouting at bots (who don't care) or trolls (who get off on your misery). Make your fucking social media enjoyable, FFS.

Transition doesn't end with perfection; it ends with good enough. It ends with genuinely loving yourself and your body, even if you still have minor gripes.
Your transition is complete when you ask yourself if those cause enough dysphoria to be worth fixing and the answer is unambiguously "no."

If you've ever worried that transitioning won't fix anything and you'll just find something else to be dysphoric about, let me tell you exactly what happens:
Each time you fix a major source of dysphoria, you will feel a little more complete, and remaining major issues will intensify temporarily. 🧵

You wanna know what happens when a transgender woman has breasts for a while?
She forgets they exist.
No more noticing her flat chest every time she looks down. No more constant feeling of lack or loss. The presence of her breasts feels so normal and comfortable that she stops thinking about it.

Wanna be an artist? Here's the super-secret skill artists don't tell you about:
USE REFERENCES.
You do not have to draw "from memory" or "from imagination". That's a personal challenge thing for experienced artists to test their skills. It's like drawing with your eyes closed.

The US education system isn't actually designed to teach you information or skills; it's designed to condition your brain to work like a good little cog. Sit still for a certain number of hours, don't speak unless spoken to, do what you're told, focus on your work, and never question authority.

When I turned 18 and they called me in for SSI reevaluation, my mom begged me not to act more functional than I was. I brushed her off. I hated the idea of being "lesser" because of my autism. I needed to prove to myself that I was just as capable of independence and self-sufficiency as anyone else.

Saw this adorable French animation ad and I had to share it over here! The style looks familiar but I can’t my finger on what group it is. Any ideas?

I've always been a lot more skittish than I liked to admit. I ran away from a lot of good things, good places, and good people for no good reason. They weren't bad for me, they didn't hurt me, they didn't do anything wrong; I just scared myself off as soon as I started opening up.

I really miss Pittsburgh. I miss the monthly furry meets, staffing Anthrocon without a hotel room, riding a bike or bus everywhere I needed to go, endless employment opportunities, shopping in the Strip, house parties, sleepovers, Fernando's lasagna wraps, enormous pride parades...
